A Sierra Red effigy jar with incurved-outcurved sides, a long neck, and an unsupported spout. The spout is located opposite the modeled duck head effigy. There are incised lines representing the wings of the duck on either side of the vessel. The height of the vessel neck is 7.5 cm and the rim is horizontal and slightly everted. The spout measures 13.5 cm in height and its orifice is 0.7 cm in diameter. The color of the surface falls within the Sierra Red color attributes (2.5YR 4/8). Fire clouding is either gray (2.5YR 6/0) or light gray (5YR 7/1). A reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6) color characterizes the finely textured paste.
